"John was a good friend and colleague at Boeing. We both went down to Arlington, TX to work on V-22 Osprey A/C #1 to prep for First Flight as structural engineers disposition Rejection Reports. I had just 3 years experience but John was patient and gracious and always had my back. We had some great conversations on the origins of the universe and early Humans. He enjoyed a good issue of Smithsonian Magazine. He was a great soul to bump into in my life. "
